This nation will remain the land of the free so long as it is the home of the brave.  – Elmer Davis

 

FOCUS:  30 Days of Thanks

Today I am thankful for the all of the military service men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom.

“For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.” – Zell Miller
